Stingin' Steve on SoundBetter

If you're looking for the perfect vocal clone of Sting, you're in the right place; need a more personal touch? I'll sound like myself, then!

I've been the singer in a Sting/Police tribute band for over 20 years and when I need to sound like Sting, I can imitate him to perfection (check this out: https://youtu.be/UMsGDKhTeGQ). However, I have also developed my own singing style over the years, especially since I started recording my own songs. In 2010 I published an album with a team of producers (Tuesday Project) that included top hit mixer-producer Stephen Power, who has worked with the likes of Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue; this is the video of one of the songs I made with them, 'And The Radio Says': https://www.latest.facebook.com/tuesadyproject/videos/561779617334679/?v=561779617334679 .
In 2013 I recorded the vocals of all the tracks on Spanish producer Oscar Salguero's album, '11' (https://elevenofficial11.bandcamp.com/releases).
I have worked as a vocalist with world-famous deejay Gabry Ponte from Eiffel 65; you can hear and see me in the video of his 'The Point Of No Return': https://youtu.be/YGG0rsYAAQ0 .
I am currently recording my first solo album.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

    What can I say! If only I had found Steve sooner! Steve is one of the best singers I have ever worked with, and I’ve worked with many! Not only does he provide absolutely stunning vocals, but he is also so friendly to work with and gets the job done first time! He is a legend in every way! Thank you for making my song shine!
